The CBC has released a statement noting changes at the top of its Revenue Group. Effective immediately, Jack Tomik (pictured) is leaving his post as general manager of the division, after being with the CBC for over three years.

“Jack’s time at CBC has covered an eventful period in our history, and throughout, his talents and experience have helped us to meet many financial challenges and positioned CBC and our Revenue Group well for the future,” said Kirstine Stewart, executive vice president, CBC English Services in the release. “We know that talented people like Jack often look for new challenges and wish him well in the next chapter of a long and storied career. I’d like to thank him for all that he’s contributed over the last three years.”

Dale Hooper, formerly the SVP, sales and marketing, Rogers Media, has been promoted to the title of SVP, marketing and consumer insights. In the new role, Hooper will be responsible for marketing as well as developing a strong consumer insights strategy and leading the repositioning of The Shopping Channel, which represents a key growth opportunity at Rogers Media, according to a company release.
